Although it’s possible that the “nones” have leveled off, it’s also possible that their growth has continued, but at a gradual pace that is difficult to see in the data.
Among religious groups, White evangelical Protestants continue to have the most positive opinion of Trump.
Most registered voters who are White Christians would vote for Republican Donald Trump over Democrat Joe Biden if the 2024 presidential election were held today.
Large numbers of Americans in many different religious groups express concern about fewer people getting married.
America’s religious groups are deeply divided about Joe Biden’s performance so far, just as they were about Donald Trump throughout his term.
A new analysis of survey data finds that there has been no large-scale departure from evangelicalism among White Americans.
Trump’s approval rating has dropped among a range of religious groups, including white evangelicals – though they remain strongly supportive.
Early indications are that candidate preferences by religion will be familiar in November – and closely linked to each group’s party leanings.
President Trump continues to be White Christians’ preferred candidate, but support among voters in three traditions has slipped since August.
77% of white evangelicals say they are at least somewhat confident that the president is doing a good job responding to the outbreak.
